Dicksbro and DM
Just stopping by to wish you all the best in fighting this.
My thoughts are with you both and if strength can be past through clouds, just look into the sky on a cloudy day and know that's the little bit of strength I've sent to you.
Keep fighting, keep smiling, keep loving

More thanks to FWM and AZRedHot! So far so good with no really negatives from the first chemo treatment. Will get the next dose this coming Wednesday.

I wouldn't recommend it as a way to get laid. There are far better paths to sex.

More thanks for the good wishes.
Had the 2nd chemo treatment (two down, ten to go) yesterday and again had the fanny pack attached for additional medications. Got home last night around nine (after a meeting) and the pack started beeping (meaning something isn't working). Opened the pack and saw the cover for the battery was off and it looked like contact wasn't being made. Checked and cover had fallen off. Evidently the "catch" to keep it on is broken because it simply won't stay on. Taped it on and for a little bit, I thought we had it working. Nope, started beeping again. Called the "emergency number" ... got our doc ... he said take the battery out and go back out there this morning. Another 50 mile round trip. Then, I'll have to go back out there again on Friday to have the pack removed when it runs out of medicine.
I feel good other than being perturbed by all this ridiculous driving. No idea when the clinics associates won't let me go to Pekin or Eureka where they have clinics and that would reduce the travel to 20 miles per trip.

Perhaps, instead of taping down the battery cover, you should duct-tape the clinic personnel to their desks.

All sounds like a major PITA DB. And here was me thinking you all had good-quality medical gear in the States cos you pay for it!!
All that driving doesn't sound good, though, especially if you start to get the tiredness I've had - last thing in the world you'll feel like doing is driving, especially for such (relatively) long distances. Incidentally, does Mrs DB drive?

True, true GG - but there again, you work with what you've got, don't you?!?!

She does and that's great to have her along. So far, I haven't had a problem as evidenced by my driving up to Michigan and back for our get together. So far, my really tired day is the Sunday after chemo. The first two Sundays were "take lots of naps days."
Not all bad. Kept a drink handy, and the TV remote in arms reach.
Stil got to church and even do some running, but, Sunday is definitely nap day so far.

Thank you, much! This coming Wednesday will be my fourth chemo treatment. That'll make me a third the way done. So far so good in terms of side effects. Hair might be thinning a bit, but still doesn't really show. And, the tingling I get from touching things cold (ice cubes or glasses filled with ice) are, at most, minor inconveniences.
All things considered, I think of myself as very, very lucky.

Oh DB, I do hope it continues to go good for you. Maybe that's not a the right choice of words. I just hope it all goes the right way!
